Thrombospondin expression in myofibers stabilizes muscle membranes

open access: yeseLife, 2016
Skeletal muscle is highly sensitive to mutations in genes that participate in membrane stability and cellular attachment, which often leads to muscular dystrophy. Here we show that Thrombospondin-4 (Thbs4) regulates skeletal muscle integrity and its susceptibility to muscular dystrophy through organization of membrane attachment complexes.

An Epigenetic Trap Stabilizes Singular Olfactory Receptor Expression [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2013
The molecular mechanisms regulating olfactory receptor (OR) expression in the mammalian nose are not yet understood. Here, we identify the transient expression of histone demethylase LSD1 and the OR-dependent expression of adenylyl cyclase 3 (Adcy3) as requirements for initiation and stabilization of OR expression.

A Whole-Transcriptome Approach to Evaluating Reference Genes for Quantitative Gene Expression Studies: A Case Study in Mimulus

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017
While quantitative PCR (qPCR) is widely recognized as being among the most accurate methods for quantifying gene expression, it is highly dependent on the use of reliable, stably expressed reference genes.

Stochastic neural network models for gene regulatory networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Recent advances in gene-expression profiling technologies provide large amounts of gene expression data. This raises the possibility for a functional understanding of genome dynamics by means of mathematical modelling.

Expression Stability of Reference Genes in Larvae of Spodoptera frugipferda Under Azadirachtin Stress by Real-Time Quantitative PCR Analysis

open access: yesGuangdong nongye kexue
【Objective】Real-time quantitative PCR is one of the most conventional and efficient techniques for studying the mRNA expression level of target genes. The proper selection of reference genes is of great significance for the accuracy of the results.

Stabilization of mRNA Expression in Whole Blood Samples [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Chemistry, 2002
AbstractBackground: Accurate quantification of mRNA in whole blood is made difficult by the simultaneous degradation of gene transcripts and unintended gene induction caused by sample handling or uncontrolled activation of coagulation. This study was designed to compare a new blood collection tube (PAXgeneTM Blood RNA System) and a companion sample ...

Combination of let-7d-5p, miR-26a-5p, and miR-15a-5p is suitable normalizer for studying microRNA expression in skin tissue of Liaoning cashmere goat during hair follicle cycle

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2016
The microRNAs are non-coding RNA molecules of approximately 20-22 nucleotides that are found to be implicated in a wide range of physiological processes.

A variance-stabilizing transformation for gene-expression microarray data [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics, 2002
Abstract Motivation: Standard statistical techniques often assume that data are normally distributed, with constant variance not depending on the mean of the data. Data that violate these assumptions can often be brought in line with the assumptions by application of a transformation.
